Love Poem: Searching

Searching

If I gaze into the sky, will I see you there?
A familiar face among the clouds floating by?
I would do anything for one more moment to share. 
Searching, I may not find you, at least I must try. 

As dawn slowly fills the sky, giving light to a new day. 
Will I awaken and find it was all a dream? 
You will be beside me, in the same place you always lay. 
You will laugh at me, telling you how real it did seem. 

But in reality I woke and you were not there. 
In that moment, I felt an unbearable wave of pain. 
The overwhelming disappointment leaves me in despair. 
The beautiful morning darkens as it cries tears of rain. 

We shared life, from a special to an ordinary day. 
Then a day remained in darkness, and you were gone. 
Devastated, I asked how it could have happened this way? 
I was lost, I couldn't accept the thought of going on.
 
Together we travelled down life's uncertain road. 
I laughingly called you my biggest fan. 
I wonder how I will manage to carry the load. 
Without sharing your strength, I don't know that I can. 

The air around me suddenly turned cold the day you died. 
Deep within, there is nothing but a never ending chill. 
I will no longer feel your constant warmth at my side. 
So I will search for you everywhere, everyday...until.
